But her oxygen saturation is 99 and no difficulty in breathing or not much cough. Only light cough during morning time. Doctor advised her prednisone 20 mg daily for 3 weeks.

She needs regular monitoring with pft 6 minute walk test and dlco. And it’s better to confirm the diagnosis of uip if there is fibrosis they will start on antifibrotic medications.
